what I find very interesting about the narrator's choice of reward - ie. an eternity of supposed bliss inside the cabin - is that while it seems on its surface just another instance of him projecting his desires onto you, it actually isn't. he himself probably thinks that he would desire an unchanging eternity like the one in the cabin, but...

when he is talking about his reasons for wanting to remove death from the world, his focus is almost entirely on connections to others. he talks about the greater good, having loved ones, wanting better for them. it's those connections that drive him to submit to death in the hope of defeating it. he is definitely selfish, but if he was totally selfish, he wouldn't have been able to do that. he believes his own death is a worthy sacrifice for the continued existence of his world. his vision of an ideal eternity, as he describes to you, is one where connections are endlessly and joyfully rediscovered.

in his ideal ending, you've killed off the only being you could ever meaningfully connect to. and this is one of the main reasons his plan dooms itself. who could bear the weight of an eternity alone? not him, certainly.

Tfw you (currently obsessed with ISAT who never plays pokemon) play a soul-link nuzlocke with a friend (in for a world of torment) and you can't pay attention to a health bar for the life of you nor remember what types are weak to what.

Spoiler under the cut :)

Guy how did you manage to un-evolve yourself

[polycoriad]

eugh blugh anyway anyway. elias like talks to jon completely differently than he talks to anyone else. if jon is the room he is talking exclusively to jon regardless of how many other people are in the room. if jon is not in the room but there’s a tape recorder running he’s talking to jon. if he thinks jon might have this conversation relayed to him at a later date he’s talking to jon. mag 92 is hysterical because why did you pack this office with as many people as possible for this conversation and then audibly not break eye contact with one specific guy for twenty minutes. well this is because jon is the only person that actually exists to him in this situation. or most situations. elias knows he’s in a podcast but as far as he’s concerned he and jon are the only characters in it and everyone else is set dressing and he gets so cranky about it when the set dressing starts expressing free will. jon is aware that other people exist 95% of the time unless he is actively talking to and/or yelling at elias and then he kind of forgor. mag 102 when elias is like melanie is coming to murder me with a knife for like .25 seconds jon is like the fuck is melanie and then returns to reality and remembers he has a life outside of “weird thing with elias” and is kind of embarrassed. like uh whoops sorry got kind of intense there for a second (elias continues to be kind of intense unabated) (forever)

I am Elidibus! And it is my duty to steer mankind and the very star upon their true course. This I swore to...to someone.

We spoke, and I swore...what? What did I...?

An elidibus piece I made for an event back in august, went a bit experimental on this one bc I wanted to capture that crystal/glass-like look to reflect the crystal tower where his trial takes place

I think i rushed this piece a lot bc i needed to move onto other things i wanted to sell for the booth and there were some ideas i had to discard during the wip stage but overall i'm glad i got to do a little tribute to my favorite unsundered :')

I'm noticing, the Beasts all have different forms of evil/danger they bring, at least of the three we've seen so far

(note that this is coming from someone who's only played Mystic Flour so far. I still haven't gotten around to the other two yet, I just know some general things)

Mystic Flour brought a spreading plague with no known cure, Burning Spice brought armies and sought to destroy the Golden Cheese Kingdom until nothing remained, and Shadow Milk I believe is using psychological warfare and manipulation to turn Pure Vanilla just like him

They're all evil, but in vastly different ways. This even extends to their involvement in the evil and those it affected. Mystic Flour wasn't even on the continent where her plague was spreading, far away and detached from it all, Burning Spice was personally there with his armies and wanted to destroy Golden Cheese's things himself (I think), and Shadow Milk is there to torment Pure Vanilla, but I think is only interested in him, not so much bringing suffering to people reliant on Pure Vanilla or his companions, outside of what they can offer in his quest to turn Pure Vanilla

It makes me wonder what Eternal Sugar and Silent Salt are going to do. Because if this trend follows, they have to do things entirely different from the other three. Which probably means no bringing of sloth to the Hollyberry Kingdom like I remember people speculating after Mystic Flour, or Silent Salt bringing destruction

I think it might have to do with whatever the Ancients hold most dear/are most vulnerable? Mystic Flour attacked Dark Cacao's subjects, but not with anything he can simply raise his sword at to get rid of and mostly leaving him alone until he himself was alone. Burning Spice went after Golden Cheese's kingdom, which she is desperate to preserve and restore after what Dark Enchantress did. And with Pure Vanilla, I think with him he is the most vulnerable thing Shadow Milk can attack. From what I gather he puts others before himself, to his own detriment, trying to protect them from anything that comes their way, and not to mention he doesn't have much to put in danger anyways. Going after his friends isn't enough, the most vulnerable target is Pure Vanilla himself, who doesn't have a way to defend from mental attacks for only himself. If that makes sense, I don't know how to word what I mean

If I'm to speculate about the other two, I don't entirely know? I'm not the most analytical person. With Hollyberry, I think the thing she values most is her family. Her people too, but they are what's most precious to her, so that's probably in some way going to be what Eternal Sugar targets. Which is great for me personally, I want more content of the Hollyberry family

As for White Lily, I really don't know, because again, I'm not the best at understanding her. All I know is that she doesn't have a kingdom for Silent Salt to threaten to destroy. There's the Faerie Kingdom, but other than it once belonging to Elder Faerie, I don't think it has nearly the same significance to her as the Dark Cacao or Golden Cheese Kingdoms do to their Ancients. I'm really not sure what their sword is going to be used for in their conflict, but it's gotta be for something

Day 1 of writing ultrakill: hehehe machine powered by blood!! Mankind is dead, gabriel wants to fuck that machine

Day ???? Of writing ultrakill: hell is alive. Hell is alive and we are the entertainment, marked by blood as the fuel. The terminals watch us: for they and we are ultimately what’s left of humanity. They are an archive of everything mankind has ever achieved and one of its last remaining idols. There is nothing left to consume but yourself. The loop will endlessly repeat until either entropy- or yourself finally, mercifully ends it. You and Gabriel are tools now without purpose and now you must find it. Through Gabriel are you able to reach peak performance, the penultimate version of yourself. Through V1 Gabriel is able to achieve a form of deliverance- ecstasy through a newfound freedom. This is a wretched, bloodied love story that’s alive with every player as its intestines and entrails- eating itself whole. By killing each other- you will destroy everything you have left. You must break the loop today or the loop will repeat tomorrow. Gabriel really wants to fuck that machine and V1 wants that angel BADLY
